“Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds.  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;” (Psalm 149:5-7)

The Word of the Lord is a two-edged sword.  It shall not come back void when the Lord speaks.  Live out the Word and let it be on your lips day and night.  Come into the Lord’s presence and speak aloud the truth He has given you.  Sing with psalms and hymns and be not silent.  The Lord has called you, redeems you and by His Holy Spirit sends you to the four corners of the earth.

Lord, all I need has already been provided.  Guide me according to Your goodness to live now and forever in Your presence.  Lead me according to Your Word to speak boldly in a world filled hostility against You.  Open my mouth that I may speak of the news of great joy which You have given through Your salvation.  Let my life be a song to You in thanksgiving now and forever.

Come, Holy Spirit, and take away the hindrances that get in the way of me expressing the faith You have given me.  Lead me away from all temptation that I may now and always walk humbly in Your presence.  Guide me according to Your goodness to see that in You and Your guidance is a good life that can be lived boldly.  Lead me this day and every day in the truth of the Word already spoken.  Amen.
